I saw a couple of support vehicles and buses drive by on 99 this evening. I was coming home with the kids in tow. Stage 5 starts just south of here tomorrow. I couldn't make out any team names or logos.
Saw the peloton scream by last year when they stopped in Clovis. Pretty cool!

Nice ones!

Anyone have insight as the why there was a breakaway so early on?

I read that whole thread about the replacement wheel - good stuff!

Seeing the Peloton coming up lane wide in all their colors... a thing of beauty in my neck of the woods. Wish I could have been on the descent too!
